It was midnight when we pulled up to the end of the park road. This area is very remote and we catch a lot of sounds out here.
It was very very still this night and when Travis and I got out of the truck it felt almost criminal to close the doors and break the silence. So we left the doors open and stood by the truck for a while and just listened to the quiet murmur of the wind blowing through the trees.
The temperature was very nice much better than 102 it had been during the day.
We quietly got out our sound equipment and our handy cams then walked over to the metal gate that separates the two park roads. We stood for a long time neither of us talking just listening to the night and enjoying the slight wind and cooler temperatures. That’s the way it is sometimes when you come out here, it can be so dark and quiet and strangely beautiful. The moon was just coming up and we could see it through the trees. We caught the scent of musk. But it wasn’t a harsh smell are putrid it was just a soft scent of animal and we knew what it was. It is in my opinion that females put out this soft scent when they are taking care of their young. We could also smell the scent of just dug earth but I don’t believe it was hogs. I believe it was females digging out places to make their beds. We’re fairly certain that this is one of their bedding grounds. It is probably a sometimes place for them and I’m sure they were enjoying the lower temperatures also.
This area is also a place full of paranormal events and where we see our lights in the forest. I still don’t know what these lights are but I have come to the conclusion that they are directed by some intelligence. They may be spookes but I really don’t know that much about them. But this night they did come out of the forest and seem to check us out. They moved quickly and it was hard to get them in frame to take a picture but I did get a good picture and one actually slowly moved up in front of me and slowly went to the ground where I got a picture of it and a small pine tree that it knocked over. Already I thought this night is going to prove to be very crazy. Well while Travis and I stood watching all this take place it was like we were in a whole other world. I started to chuckle because I thought about what Felipe had been saying about the lights. He’s joking of course but he always calls them fairies. Well I really don’t know what they are I don’t think there fairies but who really knows because at this point any explanation is better than none LOL. I am going to continue to report on these lights because it is quite intriguing and right now watching these lights I’m reminded of fairytales.
Travis decided to set up his handy cam on the hood of the truck to see if he can catch the lights and anything that might pass by while we were looking the other way. He did set up a small white light that shone out onto the road. He did this to get a better video because his handy cams does not have night shot. What Travis got on video was quite outstanding in my opinion and I will include the video in this report.
Well I stood at the back of the truck and Travis stood in the front. I just happened to look over towards Travis and to my surprise though I shouldn’t of been there was a shadow that passed by him that was no taller than his waist. It was the perfect outline of a small child and it went past him quickly but no sooner than that had happened Travis suddenly moved towards me and said I have cold chills and the whole night seems different. He was actually visibly shaking and I put my hands on his arms and he was like touching ice. Well it took Travis a while to get over this and I told him what I saw. We stood discussing the whole thing and Travis had been telling twice what I had seen go past him.
There is another name for this part of the forest a lot of the locals including us have kind of nickname for it { The Ghost Forest}. And believe me it does live up to its name at times.
Travis was really spooked and my hair kept standing up so we mutually agreed to head to one of our other areas. Travis was starting to feel better as we moved on down the road. I don’t know why the paranormal doesn’t understand that were looking for Sasquatch not spookes and ghost LOL. But for some reason we seem to get our fair share of both and we are not happy researchers when the paranormal sticks its head out of the Piney woods and says howdy.
We turned off on another lonely remote road that would take us out towards the lake. This area has seen its share of sightings and we have had our share of personal experiences here also. The road is long and lonely and at night a little bit spooky. Travis and I had decided that we would go all the way to the end of the road and set up some more sound equipment and then take our night vision and walk a track line we found a few days before.
As we pulled in at the end of the road we could see right away that something was wrong with a camp someone had put up. There was trash all over the road and strange stains. The tent was half knocked down and many of the trees around the camping site were also knocked down and we could see that the campfire was spread over a wide area that made this situation even more dangerous because it could have caused a wildfire. We are very cautious while coming into an abandoned camp or one that looks like this one. So we set the truck and took in the situation for a good while. Finally I got out and said hello several times. But there was no answer from the tent are anywhere in the woods. I was afraid that someone may be hurt in the tent and so we did investigate. They seem to be no sign of anyone anywhere but there were sounds in the woods that sounded like grunts and grumbles.
We checked the tent to see if anyone was possibly hurt or God for bid dead. But we found nothing. So leaving this mystery up to the forestry Department we made our report and was asked to leave the area so we did. But before this we did have a chance to look around and document the situation through video. I will add this video to my blog and you can make your own decision by watching the video.
But Travis and I do have our own opinion and to us being on the ground there that night looking at the tracks in the torn up forest I believe everyone out there will probably know what our assessment was. I will just leave it at that and if you will please click like. Best wishes and God bless and until the next time The Hermit.
